There is no more 100% Zapotec spoken in town. Some speak a translation of Spanish.
There is no standardized alphabet in use in the town. Much of the traditional language is disappearing, so the objective of this dictionary is to assist in the preservation and promotion of the language. This is a work in progress and suggestions are welcome. We would like to add more videos and audio and challenge teenagers and 20-somethings in the town to talk to their older relatives and friends and upload short conversations or language lessons to YouTube!
